MatchBox SMPTE ST 2110
You get the same MatchBox features you are used to with SDI, but with ST 2110 interfaces. Still providing the innovative AV lip-sync and latency measurements from MatchBox hardware and Hitomi's free-to-download iOS Glass app.
Also, the IP interfacing options are available on the IdentBox.
Existing customers can easily update their existing hardware to support ST 2110 by adding the ST 2110 to spare slots in their xFrame. Both SDI & ST 2110 interfaces can co-exist in the same xFrame which can hold up to 4 x MatchBox modules.
The Generator acts as a Narrow Gapped sender while the Analyser supports Narrow Gapped, Narrow Linear and Wide senders (see ST 2110-21). And if you need testing coverage over your redundant links, this new interface option also supports ST 2022-7.

xFrame
The audio options are on separate cards, which are installed or removed from the front of the device. For the more technically inclined, let’s say you’re on an OB truck and you don’t have any customers that currently require Dolby E encoding, but all of a sudden, you land a job for a client who does. In an inflexible world, this was a problem that could cost business, but with xFrame all you have to do you slot in a Dolby E enabled card from Hitomi and away you go.
xFrame means that that audio options are very easy to change, or add to, a MatchBox Analyser configuration. That’s because xFrame is an extremely high quality, modular platform that has four slots to accommodate what the user needs, as well as the ability to configure the modules to suit preferences once installed. That modular flexibility is a significant win for customers, resellers, and Hitomi as a manufacturer.
FEATURES
- Capacity for 4 MatchBox modules with options for expansions (audio, Dolby etc)
- Hot swapable modules
- Frame Ethernet interface to access each module’s web control interface – no need for an external switch
- Hot swapable redundant external power supplies (Included)
- Frame reference distributed to all modules in the frame
- Increased cooling capability with 3 x replaceable fan units – front to side cooling
- Full chassis monitoring including PSUs, fans, references, Modules status, SFP presence and temperature
MatchBox Module Features
- Integrated with frame’s Ethernet for web control
- Integrated with frame’s Video Reference interface
- Video Reference input
- Each Module can support 4 SFPs (8 video interfaces)

IdentBox
IdentBox provides a visual cue on a test pattern and confers the ability to test all the visuals and coms before broadcasting to prevent the possibility of live, on air mishaps.
Text overlaid on a test pattern can be used to indicate what is about to be shown, where, and from what camera. This is extremely useful for those at the other end, where they have loads of feeds coming in. The content has yet to be captured and broadcast, but to test all the visuals and coms beforehand is invaluable.
Even for the best and most experienced professionals, potentially more so with the advent of remote production requirements, it’s easy to get confused. So a visual cue on a test pattern that identifies it exactly is a subtle, but substantial benefit.
Similarly with multiple audio channels, all test tones can sound alike. IdentBox has a text-speech synthesiser so that the spoken word can easily be inserted into audio feeds. For example, after a sequence of tones the voice could say "commentary channel".
Test Tones
Audio tones are easily configurable per channel. Just choose GLITS, BLITS, or continuous tones. Tones can also be conveniently generated as encoded Dolby. All tones are precisely generated at 24 bit resolution.
Audio Idents
No need for the time consuming and inflexible pre-recorded sequences; our text to speech synthesis handles it all for you! You can insert phrases onto the audio outputs at regular intervals and create common prefixes with staggered leg ident to identify channels without the idents talking over each other. All of this is configurable via simple text entry through the web interface, and applied within seconds.
Test Patterns
Once you have a IdentBox you will not need another TPG! Whether you want plain bars, sweeps, ramps, pathological, RP219 bars or even High Dynamic Range (HDR BT2111) our flexible TPG will do the job.... and if the pattern you are looking for is not there, we are happy to add patterns for our valued customers.
Text Idents
Designed for clear readability and contrast. Our text ident generation boasts tidy anti-aliased text with a neat outline for clear display against any background. A range of available fonts, sizes and colours get your line identification across.
Logo/Bug Insertion
Customise your source with a logo or other graphic. Logo insertion allows you to upload and place your graphic keyed into the source.
Video Output
MatchBox has all your SDI needs covered from SD to 12G & ST 2110. A single card can output up to four uniquely idented test patterns at SD, HD or 3G, or a single channel of UHD (quadlink or 12G). With four IdentBoxes loaded into the xFrame that’s 16 outputs in a 1U form factor!
Genlock Input

MatchBox Glass
The newest member of Hitomi's MatchBox family of solutions for lip-sync and latency, MatchBox Glass is a sophisticated app that allows measurement to be made from in front of the camera on location for the ultimate in professional content.
MatchBox Glass is powerful and, like MatchBox Generator, works with MatchBox Analyser to replace the need for human intervention to test audio and video links. MatchBox Glass ensures that whatever is in front of the camera looks and sounds like it should on screen.
Making the measurement is simple and fast. The user holds an iPhone or iPad running the FREE iOS app in front of up to four cameras. At the other end, the MatchBox Analyser, which has four inputs, when enabled with the licence for Glass, can exactly measure video and audio timing differences – if any – across all four cameras.
The remote MatchBox Analyser in the OB truck or MCR looks and listens for a unique flash and audio tone generated onsite by MatchBox Glass and in approximately two seconds returns video and audio alignment and adjustment data that thus vastly accelerates the process of onsite synchronisation. This is especially useful for remote productions because it provides the ability to swiftly and accurately catch any synchronisation issues before they leave the site.
';
MatchBox Generator
Need to sync audio to video accurately and fast? What if you replaced mic tapping and clapper board with a known, verified and perfectly timed signal?
That’s what MatchBox Generator does.
A fully-fledged test pattern generation with advanced audio and video identing, MatchBox Generator fulfills all your test pattern generation and identing needs with video channel identification and intuitive text to speech synthesis. Boasting 16 channels of embedded or AES audio and support for SD, HD and UHD video (quad-link or 12G). SMPTE ST 2110 options also available for HD.
Lip-Sync Test Output
Advanced signatures are added to the video and audio output to enable AV timing measurements when the Generator is paired with an Analyser. To learn more about what measurements the signatures allow checkout the MatchBox Analyser. The signatures are carefully crafted to be tolerant of almost all processing including up down cross conversion, frame rate conversion and compression.

State-of-the-Art Frontend
60 mm LED Image Circle
The LED light source evenly illuminates a large 60 mm image circle for simulating large camera sensors beyond full frame, like ARRI Alexa LF, ARRI Alexa 65, RED Monstro, SONY Venice and further developments.
LED Light Engine with CPC technology
Eliminating the light fall-off on the edge of traditional lenses the P-TP7 uses a Compound Parabolic Concentrator (CPC) instead of standard lens units. This sophisticated light engine guarantees illumination uniformity.
Glass and Filter Inserts
The 3x3” glass insert between lens mount and reticle accounts for the effects of optical low pass filters or sensor cover glasses (up to 7mm thickness) in cameras. The 3x3” filter insert between light engine and reticle simulates specific color spectrums and temperatures with standard 3x3” filters.
Enhanced Workflow
Lens Data Read-out
Two multiport connectors on both sides of the projector give full access to the lens, sockets, accessories, and projector.
Electronic Mounts and Sockets
The electronic lens mounts and the lens data socket provide electrical power to the lens and enable read-out, controlling and programming of lens encoder positions (like /i-Data and LDS meta data). The lens port socket powers ENG / broadcast lenses and examines VTR, Return, and Follow Voltages.
Modularly Built System
The P-TP7 offers the traditional way of manual back focus via a knob with friction clutch protection. Calibration and read-out of back-focus is done via an analog or digital gauge.
The back-focus is adjusted by a cable bound control or the dedicated Chrosziel MagNum wireless Focus, Iris, Zoom (FIZ) Lens Control System (LCS).
